National Super Alliance (NASA) Presidential candidate Raila Odinga on Tuesday evening launched an online attack on President Uhuru Kenyatta sparking an online buzz.
Mr Odinga in a series of tweets accused the Jubilee administration and President Kenyatta of creating a standoff in the ballot papers printing tender case.
According to the NASA leader, the Head of State has sensed defeat and is propagating "lies and propaganda".
President Uhuru Kenyatta appears to be preparing to reject election results because he now knows he will lose. Don't destroy our democracy!

2. Having had the experience of two very tainted elections, we are fully prepared to protect our vote and avoid electoral theft.

3. Mr President, don't dare think of rigging the forthcoming election. Don’t ruin our country for your selfish interests.

4. Uhuru is unashamedly propagating“Nusu mkate” fantasies and lies no one believes. We have no plans of sharing power with you Mr President

President Kenyatta in a reply ignored my Odinga's attack and instead wished him a quick recovery after being taken ill on Sunday.
My brother @RailaOdinga Happy to see you've recovered well.

Kenyatta's response to Mr Odinga elicited a lot of reactions with supporters of Jubilee and NASA both defending their preferred candidates.
Here are some reactions:
Wait until you get the 'power' first then talk of sharing. Or are you sharing opposition power with Mr President? https://t.co/W294V2abRk
